Resale Value
White Pearl Crystal Shine〈070〉
Attitude Black Mica〈218〉
- Generally, white (the conventional White Pearl Crystal Shine and its successor, Platinum White Pearl Mica) and black (Attitude Black Mica, Sparkling Black Pearl Crystal Shine, etc.) are extremely popular and tend to have high resale values.
- In particular, manufacturer options such as pearl and crystal shine (including mica) are likely to lead to an increase in the appraisal value.
- The Noah is very popular overall, so you can expect a relatively stable resale value no matter which color you choose, but if you want better conditions, we recommend white or black.
Important points to consider when choosing a body color
- Colors you’re likely to regret:
- Attitude Black Mica / Sparkling Black Pearl Crystal Shine: Scratches, dirt, and water stains are easily visible. The interior temperature of the car tends to rise in the summer.
- White Pearl Crystal Shine / Platinum White Pearl Mica : Mud splashes and water stains are easily visible (especially after rain). This is a point of caution that is common to the successor, Platinum White Pearl Mica.
- Dark colors in general: Fine scratches are easily noticeable, so frequent maintenance is recommended.

Noah body colors: Introduction and comparison of all colors (including new and discontinued colors)

- The previous White Pearl Crystal Shine was popular for its elegant shine, but it will be discontinued in the minor change in October 2025 and replaced with the new color “Platinum White Pearl Mica.” “Platinum White Pearl Mica” is a high-quality white with increased depth and brilliance, and is expected to remain highly popular.
- Red Mica Metallic was a vivid and sporty color, but it will also be discontinued with this minor change.
- Attitude Black Mica and Sparkling Black Pearl Crystal Shine enhance the car’s class and give it a firm impression. They are popular among those who value luxury. However, scratches and dirt are easily noticeable, so frequent maintenance is important.
- Metal Stream Metallic is a practical color that blends in with any scene and is relatively easy to care for.
- Steel Blonde Metallic is recommended for those who want a soft impression and individuality. It has a calm yet glamorous look.
Each color has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to choose one that takes into account your lifestyle, preferences, parking environment, and how often you wash your car.
What body colors have high resale value?
Resale value is an important consideration when choosing a car, and because the Noah is a popular minivan, stable demand can be expected in the used car market.
The colors that are said to have particularly high resale value are the conventional White Pearl Crystal Shine (and its successor, Platinum White Pearl Mica, which will be available from October 2025) and black (Attitude Black Mica, Sparkling Black Pearl Crystal Shine, etc.) . These are the most in demand in the used car market and are easy to find buyers for, so you can expect a higher appraisal value.
Special paint finishes such as “Pearl,” “Crystal Shine,” and “Mica,” which are available as manufacturer options, are popular for their beauty and tend to be valued highly at resale value.
Metal Stream Metallic and Steel Blonde Metallic do not have extremely low resale values, but there may be a slight difference compared to white and black. However, because the Noah itself is very popular, you can expect a relatively good resale price no matter which color you choose.

3 things to keep in mind when choosing the body color of your Noah
The body color of a car has a big impact on its impression and is something you will have a long-term relationship with. To choose a color you won’t regret, pay attention to the following three points.
- Characteristics of body colors that are likely to cause regret and countermeasures
- Black (Attitude Black Mica / Sparkling Black Pearl Crystal Shine, etc.) :
- Disadvantages : Scratches from car washes, polishing scratches, ion deposits (water stains), pollen and yellow sand stains are very visible. In the summer, it absorbs sunlight easily, making the interior temperature rise.
- Solutions : Washing your car frequently (preferably by hand), applying a high-quality coating, and parking indoors are effective.
- White Pearl Crystal Shine / Platinum White Pearl Mica :
- Disadvantages : Rain streaks, mud splashes, water stains, iron particles, etc. are easily noticeable.
- Solution : Wash your car regularly and use iron removal and limescale cleaners as needed. Coatings are also effective. (This is a common precaution for the successor, Platinum White Pearl Mica.)
- Dark colors in general :
- Cons : Even small scratches are easily noticeable.
- Countermeasures : Install anti-stone film (around the front, etc.), and drive and park carefully.
- Black (Attitude Black Mica / Sparkling Black Pearl Crystal Shine, etc.) :
- Body color that hides dirt
- Metal Stream Metallic : Silver is a neutral color, so dust and light dirt are relatively less noticeable.
- Steel Blonde Metallic : This bronze-toned shade also tends to show dirt less easily.
- However, no matter what color your car is, it’s not completely stain-proof, so regular car washing is essential to keeping it looking beautiful.
- Timeless body color
- White Pearl Crystal Shine / Platinum White Pearl Mica / Attitude Black Mica: These are classic colors that have been loved for many years, and are not easily influenced by trends and are hard to get tired of.
- Metal Stream Metallic : A calm, understated color that you can enjoy for a long time.
- Steel Blonde Metallic : This elegant, deep color will stay with you for a long time.
Ultimately, it’s important to make a decision based on a comprehensive consideration of your preferences, lifestyle, and the vehicle’s storage environment. If possible, we recommend seeing the actual vehicle at a dealership to check the color. It will be especially important to check the color of the new Platinum White Pearl Mica vehicle after the minor change.
